In depth

Verdict

The majority of these would be better off in a 3m chase but MASKED CRUSADER, who cost €31,000 as a two-year-old, is a half-brother to a winning hurdler and has plenty of pace on his dam's side. Jet Of Magic is related to a winning point-to-pointer though Jamie Codd's presence suggests connections mean business and Derek O'Connor's mount Your Own Story is out of an unraced mare from a smart staying family. Milan Bridge cost €65,000 and has a cracking pedigree for jumping as does the O'Sullivan's Richmond Lake, who is also owned by Trevor Hemmings.
